I am new to the site I think I am in the right spot for tech help. I have a 1994 3.8 convertible, I am just about done on a build of a 1989 5.0 HO small mods gasket match, 1.7 rockers and long tube headers. i could use any thoughts on what computer to use I think the 1994 5.0 was DSI (the 3.8 is) and the 1989 is not? so should I find a used 1995 or 1989? If you have any other thoughts that would be great.

The V6 is OBD-II and the V8 cars were OBD-I.

I might suggest digging around on www.Sorscode.com

EDIT: I can't get the page to load but it might be an issue on my end.

Good luck.

no not an issue on your end HISSIN50... I'm having the server moved from my house to a Data Center in Nebraska.. going to have it finally hosted on a good connection.

To make the swap super easy in the 94 V6 car is to get the correct wiring for a 94-95 GT/Cobra which would include, Computer Harness, Injector Harness, Battery Harness, Tranny Harness. I would recommend using a Remote TFI which the 94-95 GT/Cobra used and the correct 94-95 GT/Cobra Distributor. The 94-95 GT were not DIS. Feel free to reach out to me anytime for help.

My currect 94 GT has had the 408W taken out and a 2.3L TurboCoupe Motor put in. Loving it.
